- Blue Seas Trawler 36ft
Hi all,
I have a 1979 blue seas trawler.
My starboard engine had vibration around 1200rpm.
I have hauled the boat and removed the prop shaft. I placed a piano wire between to aft side of the A bracket and the engine coupling.
It seems the engine is around 9mm low based on the position of the wire where it passes through the stern tube.
Can I adjust engine height by adjusting the center nuts on the mount, or do I need to shim under the mount.
Below is a picture of my rear engine mount.
If I need to lift the engine what is the best method, can I jack against the hull if I block it out to spread the load.
Thanks
Phil
